Accommodations – Two House Boys In Service Together
When two full-time House Boys are collared and permanently in-service at the same time, each will be given separate chores and the combined chore schedule will be posted for guests to read. The House Boys will share the same bathroom and bedroom and neither has the right to privacy from the other at any time.
When any two House Boys are in service together, the Master will assign one boy as ‘Alpha’ and the other as ‘Beta’ so that a hierarchy is maintained. The boys are still required to work and sleep naked, use the assigned restroom with the door open, and report for showers, inspections, and exercise time at the scheduled times. Conflicts between the boys' overuse of the toilet, shower, or bathroom sink will be decided in favor of the ‘Alpha’, and the ‘Beta’ is required to share or vacate any space on demand of the ‘Alpha’. Only the Master has the right to move either boy to another sleeping area.
In the example photo, two House Boys discuss the previous day’s events at bedtime. The 'Alpha’ on the right accuses the 'Beta’ of violating a rule, and the 'Beta’ buries his head in a pillow hoping that the Master will not be told of the violation. Both boys are sleeping naked without covers, which is required for all House Boys after six months of service.
